I develop commercial desktop apps for Windows and Mac using Qt. I recently switched from LGPL to a commercial license for a small business because:
1. I wanted access to the latest releases.
2. I wanted access to some of the commercial modules, such as Charts.
3. I wanted to support Qt.
The small business license is reasonably priced:

The decision of Qt to only make some binaries available to commercial customers is controversial, but they are a commercial entity and they need to make enough money to survive.
